Is it possible that I was misdiagnosed with ADHD?

I have been diagnosed with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I have suffered with the symptoms of depression and anxiety practically my whole life. However, I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my late 20s, and that was because I had heard about the symptoms of adult ADHD and gone to a therapist for testing. Because of the test results, I was diagnosed with ADHD. However, I recently went to a psychiatrist to get medication for depression, anxiety, and ADHD. The psychiatrist told me that even though I was diagnosed with ADHD, she wasn't convinced that I had it, because in her opinion, I seemed too focused. However, she said that it sounded like I definitely had depression (dysthymia) and anxiety, so she gave me Prozac. The Prozac has been a miracle drug, and now not only do I feel better, but I'm now better able to concentrate. However, so many of the symptoms of ADHD seem to fit me like a glove. When I was a kid, I often had trouble following directions. I also had trouble doing

homework and turning it in on time. I also daydreamed a lot in class and I've almost always had a reputation for being "spacey". Not only that, but I'm VERY disorganized and I procrastinate on a lot of things. Could I have been misdiagnosed, or could the psychiatrist just be wrong?

Hi as you well know there is no real test that can 100% say you have this or that well not yet anyway. how ever a doctor will look at what you say and what others say about your behavour etc etc and that is how they give the dignoses. given this there is always a chance that you have been mis-dignosed. I would go back to the doctor and check if you really feel that its not true or you could see another doctor for a second opinion. As a child I showed all the classic signs of ADHD but its only now I am older and have been dignosed with bipolar that I find out the signs of bipolar in children can be very close to those of ADHD. (not that I am saying your bipolar but a lot of mental health illnesses in children are given the label of ADHD take care good luck

It sounds like you are lazy and unfocused and you want a doctor to tell you it's clinical so you don't have to take responsibility for it. Prozac seems like a miracle drug until you try to have a satisfying sex life!

Go on a diet of no wheat (gluten), sugar, or dairy. Your life will change, I promise you. Also, if you abuse alcohol, stop.

It is possible. Were you ever on medication for ADHD?
Congrats on getting help for your anxiety and depression; and I'm glad to hear that the Prozac worked for you!

There are a lot of reports of misdiagnosed ADHD coming out right now because it was kind of a 'trendy' thing for a bit. Or so the news told me. Based on this, I would say it is possible.
